edit (added 2-9-13): TLDR:
7g phenibut /day for 1st 2 months
3600mb gabapentin / day for the 2nd months (so 7g /day phenibut in 3 mo. all together)
quit gabapentin, waited 2 weeks, then tapered down to ~4g phenibut in about a week
stopped phenibut cold turkey, and took about 7g/day name brand etizalam for 3 weeks
now prescribed clonazepem 5mg/day for a week, with a reduction of 1mg /week
i was wondering if anyone thinks my taper schedule is starting too high as i have mininmal to no history of benzo addiction although, i've used gabapentin and alcohol quite often.
i also take 100mg metoprolol /day. sorry if op was confusing, and thanks!
i'll try to make this short.
about 3 months ago, i started taking about 7g a day over the course of 2 months.
.for one month during that and after that i was also taking gabapentin in doses of aound 3600mb / day.
i stopped taking the phenibut about 3 weeks ago, after order 110 1mg mouse dissolving name brand etizolam.
i took all those along with gabapentin for the last three weeks, then stopped the gabapentin a little less than a week ago.
i was feeling really bad after my last etizolam dose so i went to see my doctor and explained the situation but told him i was taking about 6mg of xanax a day, instead of 7-8mg of etizolam, since i figured he wouldn't know what etizalam is.
i am now prescribed 5mg clonazapem /day for 1 week, 4mg 2nd week, 3mg 3rd, week, 4mg 5th week and then talk to him about it from there.
i've used benzos in the past, such as a two week long phenazepam binge, high amounts but never for long periods at a time, and have never noticed any withdrawal from them
i was hoping to get off all drugs as soon as possible, so what do you guys think of my doctor's tapering schedule?
i just wouldn't want to drag this out or become more tolerant than needed, and i'm planning on moving in two months, so i was hoping to be off them by then.
i currently take no other drugs besides weed, but have been taking adderall the last year and a half, as well as gabapentin on and off.
thanks for any advice!
